Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Main Theme - Symphony Orchestra Recording

[@_Tommmmmm_]

This is one of the reasons why Nintendo rules. They use a full fricken orchestra to produce music for their games. Their music is just as damn good and legendary as their games.

[@jesseiguess1319]

Nintenkid91 yeah. As somebody who understands music, this makes me see the geniusness of the composer. Just everything.

[@supermariogalaxyplushgamer5627]

same!

[@Swampert384]

Very true. It’s always nice when you can listen to a video game soundtrack and appreciate it separate from the game as well.

[@sobunter2464]

Blizzard Entertainment is great about full orchestra’s in games such as Overwatch. But I do agree in what you say with Nintendo

[@HudsonDiTomaso]

That’s why people like Skyward Sword I guess! ;P

[@myttydohun4851]

@@ello-olle miyamoto didn’t do anything or contribute to this galaxy or the previous one in a meaningful way other than vague feedback and the insistence that there was minimal to no story. it’s a wonder games as good as these were able to be made while he was part of the company, consistently holding everything back.

[@konkey-dong]

You should go to an orchestra concert cause it can be just as powerful an experience as you'd expect - if you don't know much classical music I'd suggest The Planets by Holst as it has similar contrasts to the Galaxy OST between dark and menacing, joyful and heroic, soft and romantic, and creepy and mysterious. Either that or something like Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto or Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake for something more lyrical and melodic

[@Epic_MKW]
